And the point of the post/joke is that he's bolting from high school early. heh. good man. I like his style.

and the NSOP page? BO-RING. Seriously, can't NSOP hire anyone with real html skills? Or are the folks at SDA who do the hiring keep low standards so they can't be accused of hypocrisy, being as unqualified as they are themselves...

That being said, it's not a knock on NSOP. They do a tremendous amount of hard work to pull the event off, and it's not easy. If you really think you can do a better job, shut up and apply for the position and show everyone how its done.

The real problem at Columbia is the culture of arm chair criticism. Everyone's got a complaint and thinks they know how to do it better, but few of the critics are willing to actually sacrifice their time and other personal interests to actually make the changes.

I hardly think #8 was self-aggrandizing, so your sarcasm is misplaced. The point is this kid is so underwhelming that I wonder if the bwogger knows him personally somehow. It's not like this is national news.

i definately wasn't trying to self-aggrandize. there are plenty of people who get into college and in particular columbia early. i'm pretty sure i know at least one member of the class of '07 who isn't even 21, not by a long shot.

my predictions for this kid is that he'll be a middle of the road student who majors in art history or something like that.
